Where the Leaders Are - Part 2

Thanks to kind words from the Senator and just because I'm curious, CI will regularly present updates on the activities of the 2008 presidential contenders.

In a week largely dedicated to Katrina action and Katrina finger-pointing, our usual suspects were much more on-target than they were last week.

Joe Biden: Attended a Democratic fundraiser. Will take part in the confirmation hearings of John Roberts beginning today in Washington.
Hillary Clinton: Appeared on all three morning shows Wednesday. Rejected Bush plan for administrative probe into Katrina response over independent inquiry. A WP article referred to Clinton as "the national spokesperson for the Democratic party" and suggested imminent backlash for her role in Katrina criticism. Remodeled her home, nicknamed "the White-House-in-waiting".
John McCain: Delayed hearings on mandatory drug testing in major league sports in the midst of Katrina relief. Introduced relief fund aimed at assisting LSU with over 3,000 students absorbed after the disaster.
Barack Obama: Appeared on ABC's "This Week" addressing race and ignorance about inner cities. Appeared on BET Saving OurSelves telethon for Katrina relief. Accused John Roberts of ignorance on matters of race and the law.
Condoleezza Rice: Released statement on Japanese elections. Welcomed new Human Rights Envoy to North Korea. Called for international support on Iran sanctions. Appeared on BET Saving OurSelves telethon for Katrina relief.

Who's off the Biden bandwagon? Times are a-changing, folks.
